Term

Definition
Ture
Term
Do the gameophyte stage begins with fertilization?
Definition
no the sporophyte stage begins with fertilization
Term
What process beings the sporophyte stage ?
Definition
Fertilization the joining of the haploid sex cells beings the spoeophyte stage.
Term

Do people and plants have anything in common?

List two ways people and plants are alike?

Definition
1)plants & people need water, oxygen. energy, food to grow.  2)Like humans, plants also can reproduce and make simiar copies of themselves.
Term
can u grow new plants without using seeds?
Definition
yes .
Term
what is sporophyte stage
Definition
plants life cycle stage that beings when an egg is fertilized by a sperm.
Term
how does fertilization occur in plants?
Definition
when a spem and egg combine to produce the first cell of the new organism, the zygote.
Term

list all of the life cycle of a fern

Definition

1.) spores are produced inside of the spore case

2.) spores fall onto the ground and grow into prothallus (gametophyte plant)

3.) prothallus contains male and female reproductive structures that from sex cells

4.) sperms swims to egg when moisture is present ,fertilization occurs, and zygote is formed

5.) zygote(sporophyte) grows into a fern

Term
what are the two types if reprodction?
